HC Deb 30 July 1941 vol 373 c1422W
Mr. Parker

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that an expectant mother has recently been forced to surrender 32 clothing coupons to obtain towelling for making three dozen napkins; that she has had to give most of her other coupons for further clothing for the expected child; and whether he can make arrangements immediately to deal with this grievance?

Captain Waterhouse

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on 29th July to my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich (Mr. H. Strauss).
